Etymology

The term far-off originated in the early 19th century to describe something that is very distant in space or time. It is a combination of the word 'far' and 'off', indicating a significant distance away. Over time, the term has been commonly used in both literal and figurative contexts to convey the idea of something being remote or distant.
